Core product: 3 is the magic number

Connecting the dots for Portfolio, Snowman & Butler

We all acknowledge the still growing complexity. A one-shot, generic and
unassuming install will not provide a useful onramp experience for anyone. We
have to think in multiples here and define explicit, narrow use cases to help
people wrap their heads around the awesome. And a couple of them are out there
already. Let me show you them.

Lets have a quick update on where we are in making Drupal 8 the most powerful
and easiest to use version of Drupal, ever. We’ll establish the playing field
by a quick rundown of two main D8UX topics and see how we can apply these to
help tackle a third:

Builder UX

We’re working to improve the site builder tools like modules page, field ui
and the everything-is-a-block page builder tool that is part of WSCCI.

Editor UX

As clunky as the site builder tools may be, we provide even sparser options
for people that work in Drupal sites to get the word out. Yet, making it easy
for folk to actually create some content is about as core a feature can get.
Let’s see how we’re doing there.

The total of how we pre-configure these two sets of tools is what to a large
extent will define the core Product.

If community driven product development is not your thing, I still hope to
show you how vital it is to dedicate time and effort on having this playground
in core, right now. And ship the funnest parts of it with Drupal 8.
